   Or a suitable cable modem/router. I have DSL service using a Cisco
675, routing, with a single IP address. It can do DHCP, but I don't use
it. I set static NAT entries for the popular ports to pass through to
my AlphaStation (running VMS), which acts as the (only) server.
Everyone else on the home network has a static (internal-only) IP
address (10.0.0.*) and gets client access to the network using the Cisco
box's dynamic NAT, so I can do Web browsing from my Mac Plus, if I wish.

   What's your box, and what can it do?
